Will They End Up Fighting?

Qi Si was just talking big. Now that he was here, how could he possibly go back?

Besides, these conditions were nothing to him.

He had endured far harsher conditions in his previous life. This barely counted as hardship.

But for the other guests, it was genuinely unbearable.

They held back because of the cameras and did not make their disgust too obvious, but inwardly, they truly could not stand it.

So when they saw Qi Si turn around as if to leave, they did not react outwardly, but all secretly hoped he would really go.

That way, they would have an excuse to head back with him.

But in the end, the director actually dragged Qi Si back, leaving them deeply disappointed.

Weren't you the second young master of the Qi Household?

Weren't you always so arrogant?

How had the director managed to rein you in so easily?!

By the time the group made it through the muddy path at the village entrance and entered the village, their shoes were almost unrecognizable beneath the grime.

The bottoms of their suitcases were covered in mud as well.

Qi Si merely lowered his head for a glance, stomped his feet to shake off the mud stuck to his soles, then sat expressionlessly on his suitcase and waited for the director to come up with more nonsense.

As for the others, who had not said anything at first, the displeasure on their faces was now completely undisguised as they stared at the mud on themselves and their luggage.

Qi Si was not surprised. They were all pampered city people—when had they ever seen a place this underdeveloped?

What none of them knew was that while they had been dragging their suitcases into the village, Xiang Qianchong had quietly had someone start the livestream.

At that moment, every reaction from the group was captured clearly on the livestream.

[Director Xiang is ruthless! What kind of place did he find? It's way too remote and backward!]

[It's over! My sweet, adorable little lady has turned into a filthy child. 😂]

[Oh no! If I remember right, Second Young Master Zhou has a cleanliness obsession. He won't get upset and quit filming, will he?]

[Then I think Qi Si might be the first one to quit.]

[Why do I feel like Qi Si is pretty calm about it? Everyone else looks unhappy, but Qi Si seems completely unconcerned.]

[He's pretending! He has to be pretending!]

The viewers did not believe Qi Si truly did not care.

He was a young master who had been raised in luxury by the Qi Household since childhood. How could he genuinely not mind at all?

Even Zhou Linzhe had failed to hide his impatience. How could Qi Si possibly endure it?

The livestream viewers were all guessing when Qi Si would finally be unable to keep up the act.

"Welcome, everyone, to beautiful Cloudgrain Village!"

The guests looked at Xiang Qianchong with expressions that plainly said, Are you kidding me?

Beautiful?

Where was the beauty?

Was it some kind of raw, natural beauty?

Ignoring the guests' doubtful stares, Xiang Qianchong continued, "Cloudgrain Village is the filming location for this episode!"

"So where are we staying? And who's handling lunch?" Qi Si asked, raising his head to look at the sky.

They had not set out particularly late that morning, but they had not expected the journey to take so long.

It was already lunchtime.

Over the past few days, Qi Si had also discovered that this body's stomach was extremely delicate. It could not handle even a little hunger.

If he did not eat when it was time to eat, he got hungry. If he stayed hungry, his stomach would definitely start hurting!

That was why Qi Wang had gotten into the habit of getting up in the middle of the night every day to make Qi Si a midnight snack. Qi Si was used to eating at night, and once the time came, whether he was asleep or awake, he would definitely get hungry.

Just like on the first day after arriving, he had thought he could simply endure it. In the end, his stomach hurt so badly that he could not bear it and had to go downstairs to eat.

That was also why Qi Wang had packed an entire box of food for him before he came to film the show.

He was afraid Qi Si would get hungry and have nothing to eat.

Qi Si's question was also what everyone else wanted to know.

Xiang Qianchong looked at Qi Si and replied, "The production team has already arranged the accommodations, but there are only four rooms."

"Four? There are seven of us. How are we supposed to sleep?" Yang Yi asked.

"Based on the number of rooms, two people will share each room, while one person can have a room to themselves." Xiang Qianchong looked at the seven guests. "You can choose your own partners. If you can't decide, the production team can assign you."

"Wait! Director, don't rush. Let us discuss it first!" Xu Zhening immediately stopped the director from continuing.

Jiang Han looked at Xu Zhening in confusion. "Brother Zhening, why not let the director arrange it?"

Xu Zhening said, "From my experience doing so many variety shows, there's definitely a trap if we let the production team pair us up! It can't possibly be that simple!"

The others thought the same, so none of them objected to Xu Zhening's words.

"Then how should we divide the rooms?" Jiang Han asked.

Xu Zhening hesitated, not daring to make the decision himself. He looked at Qi Si and Zhou Linzhe. "Young Master Qi, Second Young Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Linzhe frowned slightly, clearly in a bad mood, and said nothing.

Qi Si, on the other hand, was not polite. He looked at the others and said, "There are four men and three women. The men can share rooms in pairs, and the remaining two rooms can be worked out among you three women."

That was the most reasonable arrangement. They could not exactly have one of the women share a room with a man, could they?

No one objected, so the seven guests split into two groups.

The male guests discussed how to assign the rooms on one side, while the female guests discussed their sleeping arrangements on the other.

Xu Zhening and Jiang Han immediately teamed up.

"Um, Young Master Qi, Second Young Master Zhou, how about you two share a room, and Jiang Han and I share one? What do you think?" Xu Zhening suggested.

Jiang Han nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Neither of them wanted to live with those two great figures. They would be far too hard to please!

What if they accidentally offended one of them?

Qi Si naturally saw through their intentions, but he did not particularly care.

"I'm fine with anything. As long as Second Young Master Zhou has no objections."

Zhou Linzhe met the gazes of the other three and forced a smile. "I'm fine with it too."

"Great! Then it's settled!"

Jiang Han and Xu Zhening both breathed sighs of relief.

Over on the women's side, the atmosphere was even more tense than it had been among the men.

The problem was not Yang Yi, but Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei.

Neither of them wanted to share a room with the other, but Yang Yi was their senior, and neither wanted to speak up and offend anyone.

Yang Yi was just about to ask which of them was willing to room with her.

Then Lin Weiwei said, "I remember Best Actress Yang mentioning in an earlier interview that she doesn't sleep very well and wakes up easily. She probably isn't suited to sharing a room with someone, right?"

At that, Yang Yi narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Lin Weiwei.

"That's true, but it's not something I can't overcome."

Since Yang Yi had said that, Shen Shuyu naturally could not suggest sharing a room with her.

"Then Best Actress Yang should take the single room," Shen Shuyu said calmly.

In the end, Yang Yi took the single room, while Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei shared one.

When the livestream viewers saw the outcome, they all became excited.

[Oh wow! This is exciting!]

[Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei are sharing a room? Won't they end up fighting tonight?]

[I humbly beg the livestream not to be turned off tonight!]
